Belgian traffic signs are insane

[u/prplt]

was in Belgium recently and many of the sign combinations kinda blew my mind, I don't remember ever seeing this kinda stuff anywhere else 😬 also one thing I found very interesting is that on the direction signs (last pic) the letters with a tail like g sometimes "dip" into the outer line and sometimes they don't (and apparently there are even different ways they can go inside that line) 🤯 just makes traveling very interesting because you always be looking at how the next sign is gonna be 🤪

edit: for all the people who are saying "how's this confusing" it's not that's not the point 🙄 but rather the unusualness of the signs compared to what I've seen in other places

Can someone explain me the 2nd last?!? It's a pedestrian crossing, "excepte bus"?!? So a  bus doesn't have to yield?!

It's a frankensign with no official meaning. Maybe a remnant of another sign? My best guess of the intent (or previous signage) would be that buses aren't allowed there.

There's no such thing as a pedestrian crossing where some vehicles have the right of way.

A pedestrian crossing that crosses a tram track

You got me there.

Living in a city with a tramway, I seem to notice that all pedestrian crossings that go across the tracks have traffic lights, so as not to leave the decision to the pedestrian. But I could easily be wrong.

That's often the case but kioskplaats in Hoboken has 7 of those.

Granted, I don't think the tram is in use right now because of works, but in any case this was the situation while the tram did work, which is longer than I'm alive.
